Not really worth it to paint em, I suppose you could just slap bottom paint on there but it'll come off/peel off over time.

A couple companies make "metals" bottom paint, but whether they work well or not is a big "?".

Easier just to clean em off with a knife while its in the water.

Thumbs up

I stopped by early this morning. The bottom looks great for that amount of time in the water. Did power washing get it that good?
I was out looking for our little friends but didn't see anything? Soon! I am trying to launch today I've been busting my ass for a month now but I got a lot done. Let me know when you find anything and I'll do the same. I hope your crew shows up today!
